At Bending Spoons, we've got our sights set on becoming one of the greatest companies in history. Our portfolio includes market-leading mobile apps of the highest quality, which means unerringly engaging, inspiring, and ultimately helpful original content that aims to go above and beyond our users’ expectations. That’s why we're looking for a curious, methodical, and innovative junior content manager who’s intent on taking our content strategy to a whole new level.

As a junior content manager, you'll play a crucial role in our creative environment, crafting on point prompts to guide generative AI, making user interactions both functional and captivating. You'll also track social media trends and use this data to enhance our content strategies, ensuring our content effectively engages users.

A few examples of your responsibilities

Trend identification. Lead the charge in tracking, capturing, and capitalizing on the latest social media trends to keep our content on the cutting edge.
Innovative content creation. Independently propose and test new content ideas to enhance user engagement within our apps.
Prompt refinement. Meticulously craft and refine prompts for our AI, ensuring they align with strategic objectives and user satisfaction.
Technical collaboration. Collaborate closely with AI engineers to create prompts that captivate, optimize user experiences, and ensure everything aligns with our company's values and image.
Harnessing data for insightful strategy. Analyze essential performance metrics, including basic market analysis, competitor tracking, and social media metrics using hashtag monitoring, to inform and refine content strategies.

Curiosity and initiative. Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you’re forever hunting down new opportunities and testing fresh ideas. You’ve consistently and actively participated in independent projects, and you’re an endless source of innovative ideas.
Pragmatism. Far from being too academic or obsessive in your perfectionism, you understand that speed is often as important as quality when getting things done in a competitive world.

Talented, knowledgeable colleagues. Learn from (and teach) some of the brightest and most skilled people you’ll ever meet. Your talent is going to blossom here.
Real impact. We automate most menial tasks, freeing you up to focus your expertise where it can make the biggest impact.
Flexibility and trust. From day one, you’ll be one of the team and fully trusted. No micromanagement or clipping your wings—just the freedom and responsibility to do great work.
People who lift up one another. We hire for talent and leave the ego at the door. You'll find a group of truly talented Spooners who are eager to teach their secrets and to learn. Reciprocal support and respect is everything—you’re unlikely to ever encounter a more harmonious crew.
International reach. We’re a global company, and your work will have worldwide exposure.
Competitive salary and stock options. Our compensation packages are designed to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Compensation can grow rapidly as the individual accumulates experience and translates it into greater and greater impact.

Flexible schedule. Our regular hours are 9-6 GMT+1, with remote work allowed within GMT-2 to GMT+3 time zones.
Continuous education. Spooners get unlimited backing for learning investments, including Italian or English lessons and things like courses, conferences, and books. There’s no permission or approval process—you’re fully trusted to use the company’s resources efficiently.
Exciting events. We care deeply about team spirit and bonding. That’s why our incredible People Operations team organizes awesome events, like team games, drinks, yoga classes, parties, and regular company-wide retreats. Recent destinations include Bali, Mauritius, and Tanzania.
Relocation package. If you need to relocate for the position, we typically cover reasonable transportation and moving expenses, provide up to three months of temporary accommodation, and help you and your close family members with visa support if necessary.

The selection process

In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process. Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an “imperfect” CV. If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don’t self-reject. All applications go through our careers page, which is the only way to be considered. If you pass our screening, you’ll be asked to complete one or more tests. They are challenging, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re confident we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times. We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—please let us know through this form.

Before you apply

If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.

Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.

To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long-term work location. It’s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.

If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.
